welcome back me

i suck at blogging. i start and i'm all diligent... but then like a new years resolution, the zealousness slowly fades from memory.

so um... i got that job. i've been here since dec. 1 trying to get on the upside of the curve. pilot season is fast approaching and i'm ready to be inundated by a vast workload. things are coming together. i have benefits again, my own parking space, a great big salary increase, and a 15 min commute. really though- you can't beat that.

all is well on the home front too. we're getting it together. adopting new plans for new goals and working as a team. i do so enjoy doing stuff with him. working 60-hour weeks makes me value every moment we spend together.

so what's new? i'm forming my own production company with my homeboy terry from college. he's living in inglewood and we've been working away at an idea we want to pitch in the next few months. i'm getting my shit together. i see myself working for self sooner than i thought and it's scary and exciting all at once. what's weird is... i really like this job. it's a dope gig plus i wear jeans and sneakers almost everyday. lovely. i have a pa that does all the grunt work i hated but did when i was a pa. sometimes i feel sorry for her then i remembered the long hours i spent in front of a photocopier and the times i made coffee and sent faxes... it's a part of paying your dues.

my line sister is coming to town this weekend too. she's not just my ls, but my back. we even share the same last name. i love me some her. for serious, she's been one of my closest friends for the last 3 years and has helped me through some tough times.

this week i'm going to set some new goals for myself in writing. this is a "DO" year. i have a lot to do. i've been reading a lot more, learning new stuff and working on some personal changes. one big thing i'd like to change is the way i speak. i'm going to stop cursing. lately i've been thinking about the kind of parent i want to be. i'm not that person yet. i'm changing my attitudes too. i would like for my children not to involuntarily pick up some of the behaviors i have. so yeah, i'm getting my life right this year. change is coming.
